 2. Students join synchronous learning experiences led by their teachers or learn at their own pace.
 3. Students actively engage in interactive media, formative assessments, and activities such as videos, quizzes, polls, 3D objects, virtual reality, drawing tools, and more. 4. Teachers receive immediate insights into student learning, allowing them to provide feedback, correct misconceptions, and adjust instruction.
